Wood Ashes for Fruits.

last year l, bought some Strong,
thrifty young peach trees, and set
them out properly, for Though I am
an amateur I knew enough for that.
They all fiourished,, but about mid
summer the leaves crinkled up, and
had unmistakable "curl" all over. I
have great faith in wood ashes, and
as we use a wood-burning furnace,
have plenty of them. So | had the
ground about each tree well-mulched
with them, and slightly forked them
in. The effect was surprising; in a
very short time all those eurled
leaves Strengthened out grew fresh
and strong, and never had another
bit Of curl to them all summer. /

most salable of any horses, as they
are useful and for many purposes not
excelled. The smaller ones make
most excellent roadsters and fgrand
farm horses. The larger ones are
sought for to haul trucks. For heavy
draft work they are in great demand
and give the best satisfaction. There
is nothing which pays better than to
raise draft horses at the prices they
are sure to bring. They are easy to
break, being naturally gentle. The

Martha's Epitaph.

Down in Houston County, Ga, there
is an ancient village called Old Wilmer.
In its most prosperous days there was
a big school there, and a teach n came
from the North to take charge of the
academy. His name was Moore. He
lost his wife, whom he loved very dear
ly. He had her buried in the old bury
ing ground of Wilmer, and out of the
meager funds he erected a marble
tombstone at the head of her grave.
As it was in the wild wood, as GENE
teries generally were then, it was a
favorite hunting ground for the ju, e.
nile population. Thus it came about
that the half oblilerated epitaph appears
to-day, cut deep in the messy stone.
"Boys, Don't Shoot Birds Around
Martha's Grave The name, Martha
Anne Moore, with date of birth and
death, appears above. 1t is a curious
epitaph, and il is the only bic of history
left concerning the old teacher and biz
wife.

grapevine hanging down, and again we
made use of tree to seek higher
elevation. We had been going up for
half an hour before we bore off to the
right in the direction of the rift. We
then had to move far more cautiously,
and | presume it was full hour from
the time we left the valley before we
lay on our stomachs hundred feet
above the campfire and looked over.
The men were directly beneath us,
seated close together, aud we're smok.
ing as they counted the money.
We had but one way to attack.
Luckily foi us it was straight de-
scent. could have dropped coin
fair upon the hat Of the man beneath
me. We we're out upon rocky shelf,
but there were loose stones of all sizes
all about us. l selected one weighing
about twenty FIVE pounds; the miner
got one equally as large, and we care
fully crept back TO the edge with them.
The fall of the smallest pebble would
startle the men below, and we used as
much caution as il our lives would pay
the Forfeit. After bit we were ready.
The men had not moved. For about
a minute | Lost my nerve. 1t seemed
horrible thing to do. Had l been
alone / believe | should have relented.
The miner seemed TO read my thoughts
and he put his mouth TO my ear and
whispered:
"Remember how they shot the ranch
man, al d remember that they took
our every shilling !"
We poised the stones on the edge of
the cliff, and at whispered snow"
from him we dropped them. heard
them strike, and drew back. He peer
ed over, and after another moment
recovered his balance and said:
"Now we can go down! Those
chaps will never rob another coach J.
II took us longer to 90 down than
to come up, but we made the descent
in safety, and walked around to and
up the rift. The fire had nearly died
out. We replenished it, and then saw
that both men were dead. 1t was a
horrible sight that do not care to de-
scribe. Our rock had fallen squarely
down upon their heads, and you can
imagine the result. There was dry,
airy cave but few feet away. and the
gaug had made the place rendezvous
for long time. We recovered every
dollar our couch had been robbed OF
and more than as much again which
had been taken fro IL others. The cave
had big supply of firearms, blankets,
and provisions, and in mailbag hang
ing on the wall we're ten gold AID sil
yer watches. We got altogether six
teen watches, five or six yaluahle pin
and firearms worth at least $500. We
not only secured the wealth, bnt we
made an even divide and kept every
dollar of it. An attempt was made in
Stockton to compel US to ''divy" with
several peopl who had been robbed,
but it was failure. As the tourist
was out of ready ca.h we gave him
5000, but we would not even sell he
lieutenant back his watch at any price.
1t was told all over the slope that our
haul amounted to $4,000. If it did
we earned every dollar of it, besides
wiping out bad gang and leavin the
stag. line clear for the next six months.

WITH BUBBI1Ne eRoANp
FATAL SENSE OF SECURITY AwFuLLY
REALIZED. At SEA.

IA wet sheet aud flowing sea, breeze
that follows fast"
From his lookout the faithful old
captain of yonder merchantmen casts
an uneasy glance at the distant horizon.
See yonder q small speck of cloud
''no larger than mans hand" He
watches it with his piercing eye for a
few moments, then reaches for his long
eyeglass. To bis experienced view,
this harmless little cloud betokens
danger.
Across his bronzed face there comes
look of determination, and, with
quick orders 10 the seamen, the craft
is put about and all sail made for the
nearest harbor, where in apparent
safety the anchor is dropped, and the
hardy mariners watch the approaching
storm with defiance
The storm bursts
The decks have been cleared, the
sails close curled and all ordinary prep.
arations made for an emergency.
The storm increases but all seems
safe.
But see the vessel gives sudden
lurch, turns quickly about, and away
she goes
TIE anchor chain has broken
This mighty ship might have ridden
safely but for one weak link in that
anchor chain
The strength of the cham is no
greater than the strength of Its weak
est link.
On the sea of life, how many men
are wrecked because of the unsuspected
weakness of link in the chain of
health,-one weak vital organ in the
body.
The mystery of death is even great
er than the mystery of life. We think
the links of our chsin are strong, but
we too seldom critically examine them
for ourselves, and never really knoao
that they will bear the strain that we
put upon them.
81 have a friend" said DR.. Dio
Lewis, "who can lift 900 pounds and
yet is an habitual sufferer from kidney
and liver trouble and low spirits" The
doctor who was one of the wisest and
safest public teachers of the laws of
health, wrote:
''The very marked testimonials from
college professors, respectable physi-
clans, and other gentlemen of intelli-
gence and character, to the value of
Warmers safe cure, have greatly sur
prised me. Many of these gentlemen
l know, and, reading their testimony,I
was impelled TO purchase some bottles
of Warmers safe cure and analyze 1t
Besides | took some, swallowing three
times the prescribed quantity. / am
satisfied that the medicine is not in
furious, and will frankly add that if /
found myself the victim of serious
kidney trouble should use this prepa-
ration"
One year ago the Serbia, while in a
great storm, parted her two-inch rud-
der chain,-no wonderful aods rusted
through! The key to human health
is the condition of the kidneys, and
they may long be diseased and we b.
ignorant of the fact, because they give
forth little OF no pain. They in reality
cause the majority of all the deaths,
by polluting the blood and sending
disease all through the system.

IT is hoped that the published re-
port of a proposed conference be-
tween the president, the seere.arv Of
TIE treoeaey ana Speaker Carlisle,
with the tariff as the topic under
consideration, viii prove true. Such
a conference cannot but result in q
better understanding Of the question
which promises to cut an important
dgure at the coming session of con
gress. 1t is none too soon for the
administration TO consider the vital
question Of tariff reform and revenue
revision. For more than two years
the party has been at sea and divid
ed on this question, and it is about
time to take the "bull by the horns"
and outline just what the admins
tration desires in the way OF revenue
reform. The meeting between the
President and Messrs. Fairchild and
Carlisle may be productive Of good
in bringing these gentlemen to a fair
understanding Of one another and
place the administration in good
fighting trim and ready to meet the

tectionists when congress assemblies.

From what has been published
pro and con, including the last let

himself one cannot but arrive at the
conclusion that The democrats of H.

ing against one Clendennin, who holds
the position OF postmaster at Spring
field in that state, BY virtue of a com
mission given him by President
Cleveland. The State committee Of
the Illinois democracy severely scores
Clendennln for his connection with
a printing steal, and calls on the
president TO bounce him.
